I do believe that Ryan and Pence are two scary dudes.
You too? Ryan panders to the wealthy and holds poor folks in disdain, I think he figures that the way to abolish poverty is to starve them all to death. Pence seems to believe in that Old Testament command 'wives submit yourselves to your husbands'. He views women as property. Makes me think of Florence's late husband (she was a widow when we met) he always said she was his proudest possession, sheesh! The minister was told that the words 'serve and obey' were not even to be thought at our wedding let alone mentioned. There is an old saying - God did not take woman from man's forehead that he should command her, neither from his foot that she should be his slave, but rather from his side that she should be close to his heart. She always was.
